Is there a way in Power Automate to have the listing of my flows display either a full name or at least to extend the number of characters it displays? It seems like a small thing, but being able to manage the listing visually would help immensely.
Hi Matt,
Power Automate doesn’t currently let you expand the flow name column or show the full name in the flow list. The character limit and truncation are hard-coded in the UI.
A few practical workarounds teams usually use:
-
Start flow names with a clear prefix (App / Process / Env), so the important part shows first
-
Keep the most meaningful words at the beginning of the flow name
-
Use the Description field consistently to store the full intent, triggers, or owner info
-
Group-related flows inside Solutions, which makes visual management easier
-
For larger environments, maintain a simple Excel or SharePoint inventory of flows and owners
It’s a small UI gap, but structuring names and solutions well usually alleviates the pain significantly.
